Engineering Logistics CONOP
IV. Logistics System Functional Roles
________________________________________________________________________
While the principles define the values and philosophy and the
characteristics describe the attributes of the future logistics
system, various role definitions are needed to describe how the
system will work to support the units performing the operational
missions. The following are considered the most significant roles
for the future system. They are not intended to be all inclusive.
They are organized in sequential order with core functional roles
(those that apply to all engineering disciplines) first, and then
individual functional roles for aviation, shore and vessel
logistics.
As with the characteristics, the roles are defined functionally. The
roles might be filled by either individuals or organizations, or
both. They are not intended to be constrained to current
organizations. Any of these functional roles could be implemented
in several ways.
A.
Core Functional Roles
1.
Facility Manager
Translates the operating program needs into facility
requirements.
Describes the facility requirements for the operating
programs.
Coordinates with the Logistics Advocate and the operating
programs to ensure that the facility requirements are met.
Obtains and provides resources to the Logistics Advocate to
support facility requirements.
Continually evaluates/improves the operational effectiveness
of the facility to meet mission requirements
2.
Logistics Advocate
Manages the logistics system to satisfy facility requirements.
Sets strategic direction, goals, objectives; establishes
doctrine, policy and procedures for integrated logistics.
Coordinates with customers at all levels to ensure the
logistics system supports operational missions.
Obtains resources and makes macro-level distribution of
resources to perform logistics functions.
Continually evaluates/improves the performance of the
logistics system.
